About this book

Guide to the 67 genera and 550 species of naturally occurring palms found in the Americas. The book gives an introduction to the diversity of palms and allows anyone to identify a palm from this part of the world, and also provides scientifically accurate descriptions and a rich supply of illustrations, including colour photos of over 256 species.

A very useful summary of the state of knowledge of Western Hemisphere palm taxonomy. Choice This excellently produced guide is a model of its kind, not only in providing keys and description for field taxonomists, but also in containing a wealth of information on the ecology, distribution, and economic uses of this important group of tropical and subtropical plants. The Naturalist The reason why this should become a standard reference, as well as a field guide, is that the species concepts are broad and allow for the considerable variation that palms exhibit in the field. Highly recommended. -- Henk Beentje Curtis's Botanical Magazine This excellently produced guide is a model of its kind, not only in providing keys and description for field taxonomists, but also in containing a wealth of information on the ecology, distribution, and economic uses of this important group of tropical and subtropical plants. The Naturalist What makes this guide so significant is that, until now, the taxonomy of American palms had never been synthesized and simplified to bring order to all species in all genera and provide standard names among countries. -- Roger W.
